On November 29, in the second round of the World Cup group stage, Brazil relied on Casemiro's volley in the second half to defeat Switzerland 1-0, ushering in two consecutive wins to seal a place in the knockout round, and then in the final round, Brazil faced Cameroon, as long as they were undefeated, they could lock up the first place in the group. Brazil also became the second team after France to advance to the knockout stages of this World Cup.
In addition to qualifying for the World Cup, Brazil have set a record, having been unbeaten in 17 consecutive group stage matches at the World Cup, with a record of 14 wins and three draws, the first team in history. At the same time, Brazil had 0 shots on target in the first two games, the second team since statistics began in 66.
In this game, although the Brazilian team did not let the opponent have a shot on target, it still encountered extremely tenacious resistance from the Swiss team, and the winning process was also very burning:
In the first half, Switzerland did not get any chances, and Richarlison wasted a good chance;
In the second half, Vinicius' Vinicius scored, but Richarlison, who was involved in the attack, was offside and the goal was blown invalid;
Switzerland's goalkeeper Sommer was superb, making consecutive key saves, Brazil had a problem;
In the 83rd minute, Brazil finally scored when it was unable to attack for a long time, Vinicius instigated the attack, Casemiro volleyed the goal, Brazil broke the deadlock;
After Brazil's goal, Rocca in the stands celebrated, Kaka fisted in celebration, Da Luo applauded, everyone on Carlos high-fived, and Cafu was also on the spot, they once led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup championship, which was also held in Asia, and now they come to watch together, and bring good luck to Brazil. The VIP seats on the sidelines of this match are very luxurious, with Kaka, Cafu, Robert Carlos, Ronaldo, Simeone, Wenger, George Weah and others.
After the game, Casemiro, who scored the winning goal, was named the Player of the Match, and his stats were: 2 shots on target, 1 shot on target, 85% pass success rate, 4 interceptions, 1 steal. It can be said that Casemiro performed well both offensively and defensively in this game, and he also scored his first goal in the World Cup, which is a milestone.
Of course, the Brazilian team still has to see the problem, after the lack of Neymar, this Brazilian team is still a little short, Neymar is likely to not be able to play the next third group game, but if he can return to the team in the knockout stage, it is still crucial for Tite. Brazil's last opponent is Cameroon, and a draw will take the first place in the group, and we are looking forward to Brazil's performance.
